Introduction to Condos

The following is a document about condos in Pasig City, which is an area in NCR Region, the Philippines. A condo, or condominium, unit is a demarcated residential section within a larger structure. Technically, the difference between a condo unit and a unit classified as apartment is one of ownership organization, but in practice the distinction is one of quality. A condominium unit is normally expected to have improved shared amenities and a higher class of construction.

Condos For Sale or For Rent

A condo unit may be offered either for sale or for rent in either a furnished or unfurnished condition. It is commonly known that in this respect condos do not differ significantly from houses, townhouses or apartments. The number of bedrooms, other rooms, and furnishings such as furniture and fixtures must be described. Lease terms are typically no significantly different than for detached dwellings. However, unlike stand-alone houses, condos most often require a monthly maintenance fee covering building maintenance, cleaning of common areas, garbage consolidation, and so on.

Finishing of a Condo Unit

Only few first-time buyers are aware that condos may be finished or unfinished. The purchase of a condo may only entitle the buyer to a three-dimensional space within a structure, so a condo may be completely unfinished, lacking curtain walls, a ceiling, or even electrical wiring. The condo unit may be in unfinished condition even if the rest of the building consists of mostly finished units, and if common areas such as hallways have been finished. The onus is on the owner of the unfinished condominium unit to contract a building crew and develop the unit, with walls, a tiled or parqueted floor, ceilings, wiring, plumbing, wall paint, and so on.

Bare, Semi-Furnished, or Fully-Furnished Condos

A condo unit, in particular a condominium unit for rent, may be offered in a furnished condition. Depending on the quantity of furnishings, the condo unit may be described as either unfurnished (in other words, "bare"), semi-furnished, or fully-furnished. The most significant variation between a condo unit and a house + lot in this regard is that condo furnishings do not include garden fixtures. All other fixtures, including furniture (such as tables), appliances (such as air conditioners) and other furnishings (such as curtains) may be mentioned in the lease document.
